but right now “rich” districts can spend additional money on themselves that won’t be allowed if the state controls the tax rates and they can’t add to what the states doles out to them.

We are going to end up with lowest common denominator schools statewide.

You could pour a billion more dollars into DISD, it ain’t gonna make a difference....you can lead a horse to water....

I just emailed Patterson and told him to clarify his position, and that if he was for moving taxation to Austin from local governments that I would actively campaign against him.

Also mentioned that I run the Boot Dewhurst pinglist on FR. :)

I worked hard for Cruz locally, because he's a conservative. I'll work just as hard to get rid of a liberal GOP-E type like Dewhurst.

Or Patterson, should he come down on the side of centralizing property taxes down in Austin.
